All throughout Joshua Williamson, Carmen Carnero, and Nolan Woodard's Iron Man, Citizen V has supported Tony Stark without revealing his real identity. While overpowered by the first and second Whiplashes in Iron Man #9, Citizen V accidentally calls Pepper Potts "freckles," which shocks Stark. Then, when one of the villains threatens the son of Tony Stark's new girlfriend, Citizen V offers his life in exchange, unveiling himself as Happy Hogan. Officially, Iron Man's right-hand man comes back from the dead two full decades after his demise.Note: Citizen V has become Marvel's go-to mantle to reveal shocking identity reveals, having been the superhero moniker adopted by Baron Zemo back when he first assembled the Thunderbolts.In Earth-616 continuity, Happy Hogan died in 2006 during Civil War. Happy was ambushed by the villain Spymaster, who intended to use him as bait to trap Iron Man. Refusing to let Pepper Potts or his best friend be compromised, Happy heroically tackled Spymaster off a high balcony, leaving them both with devastating injuries. Happy survived the fall but was left in a vegetative coma on life support. Knowing Happy’s explicitly stated wishes never to be left with severe brain damage, a grieving Pepper begged Tony to intervene, and utilizing his cybernetic Extremis abilities, Tony Stark quietly deactivated Happy's life support shortly after.

For Marvel Comics fans, Happy's return and role as Citizen V comes as an even bigger shock than Marco's. While the character is alive and well and became a regular figure in the MCU, as played by Iron Man director Jon Favreau, Tony's ever-loyal head of security has been dead on the page since 2006, when, during the Civil War storyline, a confrontation with Spymaster left him on life support. His loss was earth-shaking, both for Tony, who was the beneficiary of his friendship and advice, and for Pepper, whom he married. The reveal leaves a ton of questions, namely regarding how he's back from the grave and why he took up the ambiguous mantle of Citizen V as neither an obvious friend nor foe to Tony.Well anons I can't say the revel to me came as a suprise to me to be honest. however I wll say this Joshua Williamson had better have a damn good explanation on how Happy can be alive or else i swear I wil have his ass for this.I guess this means Harry Osborn followed by Gwen Stacy is next here we again everyone *facepalm*
The wildest outcome would be the circuitry on his face means that this is somehow related to fucking Necrosha.
>>155414353:)
>>155414185Kinda late to capitalize him now.
Who was shocked. Who actually cares. Nobody.
I forgot he was even dead
>>155414294>I guess this means Harry Osborn followed by Gwen Stacy is next here we again everyone *facepalm*Serious question, why the fuck do you keep up with modern marvel, Gwen schizo? You know damn well Gwen is not getting revived.
>>155414185Does anyone even care about Happy Hogan? He seem like a character that should had stayed dead.
>>155414711Oh I wouldn't it be so sure of that if I were you consider this possablity for a moment. let's say someone else later other then the beast makes a virus to turn humans into mutants nts. Now it seems to fail at first since it does not work on the living but guess what it does work on the dead and thus they become mutans and are brought back.it's not that much of a stupid idea or far fetched really. have you seen a movie by the name of the The Return of the Living Dead. let me jog your memory about what the plot was for it. toxic gas called Trioxin gets unleashesg by accident and it reanimates the dead. i think you see where i am going with this someday marvel make the above scenario canon for real.
Did they address that he has an illegitimate son, whom Tony experimented on back when he was the Superior Iron Man? That was still such a weird "twist".
>>155414185did nobody else realise that citizen v was fat as fuck
>>155414564It would’ve been a decent pull about 10 years ago when faverau was playing happy now who gives a fuck?
>>155414185I don't care.
>>155414185Fucking AI generated thread
>>155414256says you
>>155414941Oh yeah, that kid is fucked up now.
>>155414906GwenSchizo, the reason why even gwen is still being remembered to this day, is because of her death.It's like reviving uncle ben, it's not happening, doesn't matter how much you jerk of at the amazing spiderman 2.
